Memories: Snowballs, An Old Boy remembers


 

Here’s a curiosity: ‘An Old Boy’s Recollections’ appears to be a genuine account of an incident in which a group of schoolboys are reported to their headmaster for throwing snowballs. A group line up to be punished, but things do not go as planned.

From the Boy’s Own Paper, 7 July 1894. We’ve already met this particular journal and its idiosyncrasies here.
